This week Dr. Jay is bringing you the Two Minute Drill from his basement, surrounded by A LOT of football helmets. These helmets are autographed by hall of fame players from the NFL. These are the inspiration for this week’s TMD, where Dr. Jay is talking about what it takes to build winning teams.
What does it take to build a winning team? The combination of talent and commitment.
We are always looking for talent but many times what trumps talent is the commitment to do whatever it takes to win. When we bring people into the organization you can feel their commitment.
You can see their talent but can feel their commitment. When people don’t share the same level of commitment that you have for your practice and patients you can feel it. When that happens it’s time to make a decision to help move them on to their next best position.
When you bring someone into your organization with talent and commitment, follow the steps discussed in the webinar in order to help them achieve their best self which helps you achieve your best practice
If you missed the June Masterclass on how you can build locker room leaders you can watch it here, as well as any of our other Masterclasses.

This week Dr. Jay is outside of the now decrepit RFK Stadium in Washington D.C. It is the former home of the Washington Football Team who from 1983 to 1991 won 3 Super Bowl Championships. How did they do that? Listen to this week’s TMD to hear how these championship teams built locker room leaders and how you can do the same in your practice.
RFK Stadium is the former home of the Washington Football Team, who from 1983 to 1991 won 3 Super Bowl Championships. How did they do that?
They had locker room leaders! It started at the top with the owner and the general manager who were committed to a culture of winning. They also brought in the right people to do the drafts and free agency to ensure they had the right people a part of the organization who aligned with the culture. Lastly, they had coaches committed to supporting their players, teaching them, leading them, supporting them in order for those players to achieve their highest level of human potential.
At today’s webinar, we are going to talk a lot about these concepts:
How do you build a culture of winning by being really clear about who you are, what you believe, and how you behave?
How do you draft the right way? How do you bring the right people into your organization who align with your core values, who are committed to your mission?
How do you support your team to be their very best selves, to help them achieve their personal, professional, and financial goals so they can be their very best selves, and also help the organization be its best self as well?
Check out the webinar later today, Tuesday, June 15 where we will dig deeper into these concepts.
Saturday Dr. Jay got a call from his clinic director, colleague, and friend of 19 years, Dr. Allen Huffman. He texted and called him to let me know that a pipe burst above our unit and there was water everywhere. Watch this week’s TMD to hear about how Dr. Huffman is an example of a true locker room leader and how sometimes sh*t happens and you have to put a smile on your face, figure out what needs to get done, and move forward.
Saturday morning Dr. Jay got a text from his clinic director, colleague, and friend of 19 years, Dr. Allen Huffman. He texted and called him to let me know that a pipe burst above our unit and there was water everywhere in the unit. He told me exactly what was going to happen next to fix the situation. Dr. Allen got this info at 7 am, got out of his home several towns over, drove to the clinic on a Saturday, and was able to tell me what happened.
Dr. Allen is a true locker room leader. He takes extreme ownership of his clinic. When I thanked him, he said, of course, it is my clinic. Of course, I’m going to come down and check it out and inform you of what is going on.
The reason we are sharing is this story is because on Tuesday, June 15 we are having a webinar about creating locker room leaders.
How do we do that? How can you create locker room leaders in your organization?
First – make sure you are really clear about who you are, what you believe, and how you behave as a company. Be very clear about the mission statement and core values
Second – have to bring the right people on to your bus who actually align with your mission and core values
Third – you have to support them in ways that help drive their personal professional and financially growth
These 3 things are critical in order to keep someone like Dr. Huffman for 19 years.
We are going to dive into how you can build locker room leaders deep on Tuesday, June 15. We’ll be talking about how to create not just individual contributors, but leverage contributors. This means creating leaders who can lead others.
Have you seen the Piggly Wiggly shirt Dr. Jay likes to wear? There is a story behind it! Listen to this week’s TMD to hear how the Piggly Wiggly grocery store chain is a true innovator in grocery shopping.
Grocery Innovation
The Piggly Wiggly was a huge innovator in grocery shopping. Clarence Saunders founded the Piggly Wiggly in 1916 in Memphis, TN. The way people were shopping at the time was incredibly inefficient. They would hand their list to a clerk, who would run around the store and get their stuff for them. He said we are not doing this anymore. We are going to do self-services, checkout lines, and pricing on all the products.
He was truly an innovator who changed grocery shopping forever and ever. Plus he had the best name for a grocery store on the planet. So the Piggly Wiggly was truly the innovation in grocery shopping
When we think about innovation and how we are able to change the game, especially for healthcare and for our patients, we have to think about our team members that we have as well. I’m sure Clarence had some great people on his team to help his company grow nationwide
What about your practice? What about your organization? Who are the people that you have in your seats on your bus helping you achieve your mission?
We’ll be talking about that a lot on June 15 at 1:30p Masterclass Webinar all about leaders in the locker room. How we bring the best people into the locker room, and how we support them to help you achieve your mission. We’ll be talking a little bit more about the Piggly Wiggly and a lot about how to create success for your practice and your life.
Don’t miss the opportunity to see Dr. Jay speak. Register today for the June 15th webinar

This week’s TMD is an extension of last week’s discussion about connecting with your peers. Dr. Jay is talking about how he is fat #AF right now (it’s ok he said it, not us) and how connecting with his peers is helping him do something about it.
Accountability Group
In this week’s video, Dr. Jay talks about how he is 10 lbs overweight and how in a recent discussion with his peers they talked about fitness levels, dealing with stress, and maintaining fitness. He and his peers decided to challenge each other and agreed that they were all going to work out at least 3 times a week.
This accountability group inspired him, made him accountable, and motivated him to actually make sure he worked out 3 times a week. Even when we think we are intrinsically motivated sometimes it is not enough. Sometimes you need that group of peers to motivate you.
Here is a suggestion for you:
Set a target or goal.
Tell a couple of friends your goal and have them share theirs with you so you are accountable to each other.
If you stumble, don’t give up. If you miss a day or a week, don’t give up. Just get back on track and make those tiny little atomic habits big over time.
Keep watching and maybe next month Dr. Jay will share an update on his weight loss journey.
Now we are all his accountability partners.
We want to hear what you are working on. Share with us on our Facebook page who your accountability partners are and what goal you are working toward.
Your questions and feedback are always welcome and appreciated!

It’s a new week and a new location for this week’s TMD. This past weekend Dr. Jay was at an entrepreneurial chiropractic event and shares his experiences and how you can get the most out of similar events.
Getting the most out of conferences
In this week’s video, Dr. Jay reflects on three things he experienced while at an entrepreneurial chiropractic event this past weekend.
Open up your peer network and spend time with colleagues. This allows you to share ideas, challenges, and frustrations, and get ways to make your practice and your life better. Connecting with others is really important as human beings.
Listen to new ideas. These ideas may or may not conflict with some of your beliefs. It is not a bad thing to open up your mind and hear what others are saying.
Research what you hear. Is what you hear real? Are people telling the truth? Are they giving you new facts/new ideas/new concepts? Take what you need from those things that you learn (from the speaker, connecting with your peers, and researching those ideas) and apply them to your life in the best way possible.
In summary, expand your peer group and connect with some colleagues this week, listen to/read about new ideas that may conflict with your existing ideas, and research what you are learning, and apply what you need to to make your life and your practice better.
We want to hear what you are doing. Share with us on our Facebook page all how you are planning to connect with colleagues this summer.

Where in the world is Dr. Jay this week? Watch this week’s TMD to see where he spent the weekend and his message on giving your brain a break so you can get into the highest state of flow.
Go do something for yourself
The last couple of weeks we have talked about stepping out of your comfort zone and the importance of messaging over and over the same thing so people hear it in a different context. This week is something different, it’s not really about business or personal development. It’s about making sure you take some time out to take care of yourself.
As entrepreneurs we are working our butts off, working days/nights/weekends. We never stop working. We can get a little bit burnout or stale sometimes. The business and personal development literature have both shown it is really important to take time off. You have to stop working, shut your computer, and go do something for yourself. Try hanging out at a new place or visit a favorite old place, hang out with family/friends/kids/pets, whatever brings you joy. It is important you take some time out and refresh so when you get back to your business you can be in the highest state of flow because you’ve given your brain a break
This week’s challenge: find some time and give your brain a break. Go have some fun. Go out. Enjoy life. That’s why we work so hard so we can have the freedom to enjoy our lives
We want to hear what you are doing. Share with us on our Facebook page all of the great things you are doing this week to take care of yourself and enjoy life.

This week Dr. Jay is bringing you the Two Minute Drill from beautiful Utah. It is the perfect location for this week’s TMD, which is about a President who came out west after suffering a significant tragedy in his life. Check out this week’s video, where Dr. Jay reviews leadership lessons that can be learned from this story.
Step out of your comfort zone
This week’s TMD is about a President who came out west after suffering a significant tragedy in his life. Theodore Roosevelt lost his mom and his wife on the same day. He decided to leave politics and come out west to get away from it all. He realized he needed to face his fears, needed to do the things that were most difficult, stepping out of his comfort zone in order to become a better version of himself.
Dr. Jay is currently reading the book, Leadership: In Turbulent Times by Doris Kearns Goodwin and shares a passage from the book about President Roosevelt. Some lessons that stood out as keys for leadership are:
Cultivate courage as a matter of habit
Repeated effort and repeated exercise of willpower
Wanted to set a leadership example
Perseverance was the key to his success
Anticipate the behavior
Hoped example of acquired courage would prove instructive
Two weeks ago Dr. Jay talked about the importance of stepping out of our comfort zone and that’s exactly what one of the greatest presidents in our nation’s history did. He didn’t just step out of his comfort zone, he faced his biggest fears. When we are dealing with practice and life, sometimes we have to step out of our comfort zone and face those biggest fears head-on as if we weren’t afraid at all.
Share with us on our Facebook page what your biggest fears that you are working to overcome.

This week’s Two Minute Drill is inspired by a LinkedIn post/video Dr. Jay saw this week by his good friend and world-class branding expert Kait LeDonne. Kait helped Dr. Jay’s clinics with their rebranding journey and transformed them into their current name, Kaizo. Kaizo is the Japanese word for rebuild or reconstruct. In the gaming world, it is known as a hack or pushing the limits of human potential, which really tied to the company’s DNA.
In this recent LinkedIn post, Kait talks about the importance of repetition in messaging. Listen to this week’s TMD to hear Dr. Jay speak about how to specifically tie this concept of repeating messages to your communication with your staff.
Repeat yourself at least 7 times
In the video Dr. Jay watched, Kait spoke about the importance of repetition in messaging. People need to hear a message at least seven times for it to sink in. They also need different contexts around the messaging so they actually get it.
Why is this important for you as a practice owner or a leader?
Let’s think about our teams. We have to repeat things many times to our teams in order to drive results. In Dr. Jay’s messaging to his teams he is constantly repeating himself over, and over, and over again. The context may be different but the overall message to achieve a certain goal is exactly the same.
Many times new leaders will ask, “Why do I need to say the same thing over and over to my employees?”. It’s because they are human! We need to hear things over and over again. We also need to hear them in a different context to make a greater understanding of how we use that information and apply it in a variety of different ways.
This week’s message to you, as leaders and business owners:
Don’t get frustrated when you are repeating messaging.
Find new ways to communicate the same important message over and over again.
Personalize them so people understand the why, what, and the how and what you are expecting to achieve from the message.
Share with us on our Facebook page what you feel you are constantly repeating to your staff and how you are going to change the context this week.
